| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 17, 2007 Imperial pint draft at Floyds. British? Hah! Despite assurances it’s got all British ale hops, it’s still at the usual 3F’s strength: a rush of lime, pineapple, pine tree and cat box. A lovely brown English beer color, though, just a bit hazy with a light scrum of foam. Hop hit is cheek by jowl to a hearty English malt bill, sweet and chewy as a fresh baked cookie. Nelson’s body could have preferred to be shipped home in a barrel of this, instead of French brandy! "Kiss me, Hardy!" sersdf (1000), chicago, Illinois, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Well, I won’t bash this like everyone else did. I actually voted this at 3rd place. it’s true, it was very hoppy. i’m surprised they got such a citrusy aroma from fuggles. it was a little watery but it was good. I’m surprised that’s it’s listed as an ESB. seemed like an IPAto me. drewbeerme (2299), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 1, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Slightly hazy copper body with a large creamy off-white head. Strong sweet citrus hops aroma with a tea-like maltiness in the background. Sweet citrus and grassy hops flavor with some light caramel. Very easy to drink. Ughsmash (4052), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 2, 2007 On tap at 3F. Poured a clear, deeper amber with 1" of creamy off-white head.. sticky lacing followed it down. The aroma found soft caramel with heavy floral hoppage.. some pineapple too.. sweet and alluring. Flavor was of a hella-hopped bitter... soft caramel, toffee, and light fruity sweetness (peach, pineapple, and mango) base with a juicy bitterness surrounding... lingering floral and fruity bitterness at the finish. Medium-bodied.. smooth, sweeter base was well-balanced with all the bitterness around it. Good stuff!
